Your zombie survival plan

[NEREVAR117]

The answer really is simple: I gather my family and all the food we can before heading north. Far, far north. The deep cold will create a harsh environment for any zombie; they'll freeze long before they reach us.

I plan to hide under a pile of repeat threads, and beat back any zombies I encounter with the search bar.

Occasionally stop to reload...

I could say I run to the gun store and use my past firearm experience to blast my way to colder climates, but who am I kidding.

Statistically its much more likely I'll become a zombie and feast on you all!

Spoiler: Well said, sir. I applaud you.

Seriously, that was a good one.

On to the topic now:
I live in a fairly big, Norwegian city (Fairly big in the sense that it's 12,000 people, and that's big in Norway) and would probably get a hold of my mates and a couple of cars and stuff, and then we'd head for the coast to find some sort of small island where one could establish "base" and such.

I come from the coast, and I know of a lot of these islands, so there'd be no problem finding one. Also, a lot of them has got houses and stuff, so you could easily find uninhabited shelter (As noone goes for a cabin trip in the middle of the winter (It's sub zero here now (Celsius), and about a foot of snow)).

As goes for supplies, there's lots of supermarkets and stuff all over the country, so we'd probably raid a gas station or a local store when we're out of the big cities, stocking up mostly on beer and canned food, as well as other essential equipment (Batteries and flashlights, soap and such).

And now we're at weapons.
Since Norway doesn't approve of weapon carriage without a permit from the government and a "weapons club", guns would be hard to come by. And bullets would be even worse.
I think I'd stick to blunt weaponry, mostly, as well as chainsaws and stuff for the worst case scenario. I don't think I'd get more weapons than that though.

Spoiler: This is by far the ultimate zombie weapon though. Seriously.

My house has one flight of stairs, and I own an assault rifle, Ill be fine. Also I live across from a grocery store so food won't be a problem.
There are also multiple escape routes and easy ways to get to my roof so again ill be fine.
And when and if I run out of ammo, I have a spear and a bow so again i'm fine.
And when and if that all fails I have a full sized truck capable of plowing through very large amount of things, whatever they may be.

I live my plan. sadly(not really at all) zombies will likely not happen, I just put the pieces of my life together to find out that I would win against zombies.

Shark-suit, with chainmail mesh inlay ought to keep me safe from bites, just in case i mess up. i intend to stick to rooftops where possible, although carry a rope-ladder to get down quickly and safely. ideally avoid large groups of zombies, and raid nearby supermarkets/ convenience stores for supplies of bottled water and tinned goods, batteries, toilet paper etc.

Look for the warning signs, and then escape to nunavut with my GF and family BEFORE the infection really gets rolling, and the panic sets in and everything goes to hell.

If the infection spreads too rapidly for that, then....Pretty much grab all the supplies I can, and cut the main staircase up in my house so the second floor is totally safe.

If the infection happens almost instantly, and we have RUNNER zombies.....No plan will save me. I live in Canada. In a suburb. Next to a shopping mall, two grocery stores, and town hall (all places to AVOID in an outbreak). We have no weapons up here. :s

Zombies are NOT, I repeat, NOT, a huge threat - they rot (F*ck that solanum thing, it's something Max Brooks invented to make them not just up and die within a couple days), they have, the strength of a human being, lack dexterity, lack speed, lack organization, lack firepower, and spreading via bite is a REALLY sh*tty way to infect enough people to sustain a uprising, not to mention that they don't heal from day-to-day injuries or broken limbs.
And you know what humans are capable off.

Mr. Squishy, you do make a very credible point about the durability of the zombie corpse. They wouldn't last more than three or four days at most before being hunted down by enthusiasts and destroyed by the elements and re-killed for a food source. But this does bring up the issue that we are isolation the zombies to just pathogen based. There are many forms of the zombie apocalypses. There are actually parasites that can hijack the ant's central nervous system and control it to do the parasite's bidding, so we should be worried about that because there wouldn't be a natural immunity. Or another alternative is nanotechnology. We're one mad scientist and a break through away from having nanobots able to manipulate and replace neurons in the brain, of which can be controlled via computer programs. These two types would at least be less visible and have longer incubation periods than a pathogen based horde.
